Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan grants Lucia Morales Benavente’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The court holds that the respondents failed to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements for terminating her parole under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and that her continued detention violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. The court orders her release subject to the conditions of her parole, enjoins re-detention absent changed circumstances and due process, retains the Secretary of Homeland Security as a respondent, and dismisses the Attorney General as a respondent.
